I recall in the IsThereAnyDeal API there being an endpoint where you can provide a "fuzzy" title and get back a list of valid titles. Right now, the endpoint used by /game for title searching is absurdly finnicky. I should not have to type The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition to get a result; it should be able to receive Skyrim.

Desired functionality - if API allows it - is to introduce a better fuzzy search, and perhaps even conditionally require confirmation from the user on a title, for games.
